make sure you didnt cross any of the bridges...and make sure that you have enough lead on there.
when i was experimenting with overclocking my athlon, i thought i drew the lines nice 'n neat, but it wouldnt work correctly, so i erased everything, and redid all the lines, and did it while looking through some magnifying eyeglasses, so i could get real nice lines...after i did that, it worked, no problem.

Also be sure that the pencil is <font color=red>type 2B</font color=red> (the one with the highest graphite content) and <b>VERY</b> sharp.

well, i am sure that 2B would be better...but i am using a mechanical pencil with Pentel HIPOLYMER HB super .5mm led. works fine..

you know what tho, i have also seen people use resistors? i think....
i saw it when i was looking up the bridge settings to overclock my athlon...cant remember where i saw it....BUT...i think that is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much work to unlock or overclock the athlon/duron...
just pencil it in....takes two seconds, and can be undone.

i just looked at it through a magnify glass and i saw that the bridges were unloacked already. is there any other bridges i need to lock or unlock other than the L1's?

 

[HonestJhon]

wow, an unlocked one...not bad. but if the L1's are already unlocked, then that should be it...you should be able to overclock through the bios...
